Time To Boycott Howie Carr Advertisers – WITH POLL

September 28, 2009 By eb3-fka-ernie-boch-iii

Connolly, by the way, was a highly successful trial lawyer before becoming a judge. He is worth millions. He is one judge that doesn’t need the job. And he is by the accounts of hundreds of lawyers that have appeared before him one of the best judges in the Superior Court.

So Howie goes after Connolly and brings up the same crap. Political donations to this and that and blah blah blah.

But here is the rub.  Connolly is an ex-seminarian and Howie makes a reference to all the perverts that came out of the seminary and gives the guilt by association hint.

He then does a little more hinting that the former seminarian is either a pervert or homosexual (not that there is anything wrong with that) or someone extremely sympathetic with perverts and homosexuals thus bias from the bench.

Catholics and gays right supporters should be up in arms that a major daily allows their columnist to indict individuals with veiled accusations of sexual abuse of children or sympathy to child rapists. Howie does this while at the same time throwing homosexuals into the same group of sexual deviants.

Time to Boycott Howie advertisers. Off hand the only ones I can think of are the auto insurance guy (the Commissioner), Barry Armstrong (the financial guy), the olive oil company and the vet he has on every so often.  Let’s start collecting names of Howie’s WRKO advertisers and have a BMG and friends Boycott until Howie starts acting nice. That’s right, “nice”. All these small time business that support his show should be taken to task by the local blogging community.

Howie Carr, the guy with the first failed marriage, first set of kids he never talks about, sealed divorce records, does not believe contracts apply to him, committed fraud by drawing his own name in the license plate lottery (at very least a conflict)  and BTW  puts his daughter Charlotte in the public eye but constantly referring to her on his show and having her in studio. Howie my boy, by putting her out there you allow her to become a legitimate wordsmith target by some blogger willing to go down to your level. How about your upper crust boarding school producer Sandy? Who is she dating? What’s in her background?

So Howie, my suggestion is to see a shrink and get to the root of this deep seeded hate and anger towards those who have succeeded in life. Perhaps hypnotism to bring back those events at Deerfield that obviously scarred you for life. (Something in the locker room or shower perhaps?)

Question Howie, how do you write the way you do and expect your kids to still respect you as they get older and wiser? What does your first set of kids really think of you?

    I once heard him described as “a major minor poet.” I think that’s apt, and fair. His music, however … not so good (except “People Who Died,” which is brilliant).

    Come on Ernie – your poll should have had a list of Howie Carr adverters for us to vote on.

    Imagine what Howie and his sheep listeners would have had to say if a prominent Democrat had crossed into oncoming traffic, jumped a curb, and split a telephone pole in half.  Apparently, the poor guy was just “distracted.”

                The only concrete statements I’ve ever seen you make are negatives. Based on your statements here, you hate Democrats, liberals, gays, and several politicians (especially Jim McGovern). I know you support Christy Mihos, but you’ve never explain why he’s your candidate, other than that you hate Deval and he’s not Deval.

                I suffered renal failure. my private insurance company dropped me like a hot rock. kidney dialysis costs over $100,000 annually per patient. I’m not a democrat, I can’t afford that. The solution best offered by my social worker was to spend down, get divorced, and go on medicare. I’m all for marriage equality, where’s the line to sign up? Fortunately for me, I have wonderful support behind me, but being alone kinda sucks.

Medicare is a Health Insurance Program for people age 65 or older, some disabled people under age 65, and people of all ages with End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure treated with dialysis or a transplant).

                  Tell you what asshole: Full fury here! I was happily married. My social worker told me what to do. My wife’s insurance carrier dropped me like a hot rock. This dialysis shit costs well over $100,000 annually. I don’t see you sending a check! Do you know that Medicare routinely denies the first claim in hope that the individual will give up? Kiss my bile bag. You only know what you read, try living through dialysis. I did.

    Media-hound William Donahue and his “Catholic League for Civil Rights” (consisting of his cel phone and not much else) logically ought to be concerned about any anti-clerical bigotry.  Donahue is perhaps one of the few people I hold in less esteem than I do Howie Carr, but his particular brand of media shitstorm would be just what Howie needs as he recuperates from his accident.  Not that Donahue has ever been much concerned with anti-Catholic bigotry emanating from conservatives…
